2002 MasterCraft ProStar 197

For the dedicated watersports purist, the 2002 MasterCraft ProStar 197 needs no introduction. Widely regarded as one of the finest three-event towboats ever constructed, this vessel is a purpose-built, direct-drive slalom tractor designed specifically for skiers who demand absolute perfection in the course. Built upon a world-record-capable hull, the 197 is engineered to deliver whisper-flat wakes, razor-sharp handling, and laser-straight tracking at tournament speeds. Yet, what makes the 197 truly special is its versatility. Thanks to its brilliantly engineered walk-through open bow and comfortable seating options it effortlessly transitions from a dedicated ski machine to an inviting family boat perfect for towing the kids on tubes or enjoying a relaxed sunset cruise.
 

Powered by the legendary and highly reliable Indmar 5.7L Predator V8 engine (310 HP), this boat offers a blistering hole-shot and ultra-smooth, consistent power delivery. With an exceptionally low 297 original hours, the drivetrain has been lightly used and is primed for many more seasons of aggressive, high-level skiing, as well as countless weekend memories. This MasterCraft is a precision tool that can still outperforms modern, heavy crossovers on the slalom course while providing all the comfort your family needs.
